Richard Mourdock on Health Care

No national nor Massachusetts-style health care plan

Mourdock reminded people that Donnelly voted for "ObamaCare." As a candidate, Mourdock said, Donnelly said he would not support a national or Massachusetts-style health care plan. "He said he was against ObamaCare but in the end he decided
to vote for it," Mourdock said, calling Donnelly the "deciding vote."

Donnelly fired back that it's attitudes like those of Mourdock that has led to a dysfunctional Washington.

ObamaCare makes government bigger

To Donnelly, currently a member of Congress, Mourdock is "an unapologetic leader of the Tea party movement" who put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk when he challenged the Chrysler bankruptcy settlement.

To Mourdock, currently state treasurer,
Donnelly is a supporter of President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who voted to make government bigger by supporting ObamaCare.

Mourdock defeated veteran Sen. Richard Lugar in the GOP primary by arguing that
Lugar had compromised too often on too many issues and was no longer representing the conservative values of Hoosier voters. Donnelly repeatedly made a pitch to those so-called "Lugar Republicans."

Mourdock mentioned Obama and
Reid at every opportunity. With Obama not expected to repeat his 2008 feat of being the first Democrat to carry Indiana since Lyndon Johnson did so in 1964, Mourdock is hoping Obama's unpopularity here will translate to votes for him.

Tax-deductible health savings accounts for those under 55

Both Lugar and Mourdock called for repealing President Obama's health care law. Mourdock said he favors turning Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor, into block grants for states and freezing its spending for 10 years.
Medicare, the health insurance plan for older Americans, should be offered to those younger than 55 as tax-deductible health savings accounts, Mourdock said, and health insurance providers should be allowed to operate across state lines.

ObamaCare is unconstitutional & will bankrupt our nation

Richard Mourdock believes that ObamaCare is blatantly unconstitutional and must be repealed, defunded or overturned by the courts. If left in place, ObamaCare will bankrupt our nation,
destroy private sector jobs, create mountains of bureaucracy, promote abortion with federal dollars, and co-opt the states to do the bidding of the federal government.
